We stayed in a nice little motel in the little town of Hinton. We ate supper and breakfast with a bunch of oil drillers. All nice guys who were very curious about what we were doing.
Traveling along I-40 we saw all kinds of debris and destruction from the recent tornadoes. It was very sad to see buildings destroyed and trees snapped or ripped from the ground -- what power those tornadoes have!
We finally said good-bye to I-40, just outside of OKC. From now on we'll be traveling NE. Met a nice motorcycle cop on a new BMW -- a sweet ride! Arrived at Mark and Cathy Hinderliter's by 10 AM. Cathy is a chef, and began feeding us almost right away. Mark came home for lunch. Cathy is Chuck Foreman's younger sister, and they have an adopted son from Taiwan. It was great seeing old pictures from their trip to Kaohsiung in 2003.
We had an evening Gloritrek program at Cherokee Hills Christian Church. It was a nice gathering for a Thursday evening. They asked lots of great questions and even asked for the PP files, so the missions committee could review the material and make additions to what they are already doing!
We really enjoyed visiting with Mark and Cathy -- it was very difficult leaving their house this morning! Did I mention that Cathy is an awesome cook -- homemade strawberry/rhubarb yogurt -- just one of the things we had for breakfast!
Back to the tornadoes -- some of you will not need to imagine that a tornado is bearing down on you, but how would you feel if you were in the path of a tornado; nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Wouldn't you be terrified? Now, imagine what it would be like to stand before the Judgment Seat and not know the Savior, our Redeemer, our Mediator. Nearly everytime someone saw an angel in the Bible, they were terrified. Imagine standing before the God of all Creation and not being ready for that day. We've passed hundreds of crosses along the highway, indicating that someone died in that spot on the highway. I wonder how many were ready to see the Lord. Yes, there is an urgency in the Gospel going to the nations!
Thank you, Mark and Cathy! We were truly blessed yet again!
Thank you for praying!
Dave, Luey and Andy
Make sure you explain to me that you're going to preserve this up! Its so very good and so critical. I cant wait around to read much more from you. I just feel like you know so a lot and know how to make men and women listen to what you have to say. This website is just as well amazing to be skipped. Great things, really. You should, You should keep it up!
